Sandwich Ingredients

  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 4 oz salami, sliced
  • 4 oz capicola, sliced
  • 4 oz provolone cheese, sliced
  • 1/4 cup banana peppers, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sandwiches evenly.
  2. Prepare the Rolls: Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise, creating space to layer your ingredients.
  3. Layer the Meats and Cheese: On the bottom half of each roll, layer slices of salami followed by capicola, then add fresh mozzarella and provolone cheese on top.
  4. Add Banana Peppers: Place the sliced banana peppers evenly over the cheese layers to add a tangy flavor.
  5. Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle each assembled sandwich with olive oil to enhance flavor and help achieve a golden crust during baking.
  6. Bake the Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the sandwiches to cool slightly before serving to prevent burns and to let flavors settle. Serve with chips or salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy sandwich, you can toast the hoagie rolls lightly before assembling.
  • Adjust the amount of banana peppers to taste for more or less tanginess.
  • Feel free to add other sandwich toppings like lettuce or tomatoes after baking for added freshness.
  • Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Leftover sandwiches can be reheated in the oven to restore their crispiness.
